Many of you have done it - what is the best way of removing the rear loom and getting past the A post? Pulling forward and down the A panel looks awfully challenging with all the bullet connectors and junction. Is it better to disconnect it from the front and pull it up the A panel and take it out from the rear?
Any advice appreciated before I knacker the old loom.

Re: Removing loom past A post
I agree with frogeye, pulling the loom out backwards seems to work better.
A little tip, if you are not chopping / scrapping the shell, tie some rope / cord to the end of the loom, then as you pull it out (backwards) the rope / cord will be pulled through as well.
Once the loom is clear of the B post untie the cord and leave it there until you need to pull the loom back through the bodywork.
Saves a lot of hassle.
